Dahi vade is a popular snack in India. It is prepared by soaking vadas in thick yogurt. Dahi vade is also known as dahi bhalle in punjab, & in odisha its called as Dhai Bara. Dahi vade is primarily made of black lentils ( Urad Daal ) batter. Everybody likes dahi vade becuause of its tangy taste. Dahi vade can be prepared in two styles only khatta wala & both khatta mittha wala. I like the khatta mittha wale dahi vade.

Instructions

Wash & soak the urad daal for 2 hours.

Drain the water & blend it in a mixture to a smooth batter.

Heat oil in a pan, wet the palms & take some batter & flatten it to a round shape, make a hole, at the center.

Now slowly slide it into the hot oil.

Fry the vadas from both sides till golden brown, remove the vadas from oil & soak in water for 20 minutes.

Till then roast some cumin seeds & red chilli & powder it.

After 20 minutes remove vadas one by one and push it slightly in your palm (which will remove the access water) then dip into the yogurt ( dumpling into yogurt ).

Take oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, green chilli, red chilli & curry leaves, fry for 2 second & put it into the vadas.
